The magical number for the people of the Northwest Coast is four. It influences their culture and traditions in many ways; songs and dances are often repeated four times, rituals are performed in fours, and myths were often built on the occurrence of four events.
The design of these four prints is unique in that each embodies only the essence of the ceature it portrays through the minimal use of line. The negative and positive elements interlock to provide the necessary features with amazing economy of detail. Originally designed as silver pendants, in graphic form the circle motifs become a striking quartet.
The rendering of one circle in black with touches or red makes a strong counterpoint for the three predominantly red designs having accents of black.
